About Derek Houghton

With my wife Julie we have been visiting Florida particularly the Disney area for the last 20 years, we just love the place and of course the 'SUN' We decided to buy a place of our own rather than carry on renting which we did in 2009, having rented we know what the guest expect and need so with that in mind that's exactly what we supply to our guests, luxury living at affordable prices.

Derek Houghton purchased this house in 2009
Why Derek Houghton chose Oak Island

Oak Island Harbor community is a community that is known and appreciated for its convenient location in the prestigious Formosa Gardens area. Upscale private pool homes in a spectacular and peaceful setting yet close to where everything is going on.

If you are vacationing in Central Florida for the fabulous weather as well as visiting all the world famous theme parks, then this is the villa for you. The house has one of the nicest settings imaginable with the back lawn running down to the waters edge of the private lake that this community is built around. The generous pool deck gives you uninterrupted exposure to the Florida sunshine all day long. Then in the evening enjoy the spectacular sunsets and the nightly glow of the firework display from the nearby Disney Park while you relax in the lanai or soak in our relaxing spa.

The lake is also visited by a variety of Florida wildlife including Herons, Cranes etc, the lake is also stocked with a variety of fish, so if you are feeling lucky, grab a pole from the games room and try it out.

What makes this house unique

Just a 2 minute drive from the villa, guests will find the famous highway 192 – and the Formosa Gardens shopping plaza and eateries. Some of the best known restaurants are located at Formosa Gardens, with an Outback Steak House, Red Lobster, TGI Fridays, Buffalos Wild Wings, Giordano’s Chicago Pizza restaurant, Carabba’s Italian, Cracker Barrel, Chinese, Subway and Taco Bell takeaways, as well as shops, a Winn Dixie supermarket, and much much more.

THIS HOUSE IS FANTASTIC

5 of 5
Submitted: March 7, 2013 Stayed: November 2012
This house is fantastic!! We traveled with 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 2-11) and everyone had a blast. Right when we walked in the door our expectations had been far surpassed because it was even nicer than the pictures indicated. I really can’t imagine what else the owner could do to improve this place because he’s covered everything under the sun. Even down to supplying fishing rods [my husband caught lots of largemouth bass]

It never took us more than 10 minutes to get to the Disney property and I think we were actually in our parking space in less than 15. We enjoyed having all of the retail access so close too. (Target, Buffalo Wild Wings, Outback, etc.)

Overall, I give this house 10 out of 10 in quality, location and fun! The views across the lake are truly spectacular.
The kids loved playing in the games room. We spent 4 days at the parks and spent 2 days hanging around the house. This was our first trip to Disney and we really enjoyed getting away from the crowds and relaxing at such a nice home. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Vacation Home

5 of 5
Submitted: February 25, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Renting this home for a week was the best vacation decision we have ever made. This is a beautiful home and comfortable. Close to everything, to all the parks, shopping, and restaurants. Very quiet neighborhood, so it was easy to relax after a day at the parks. The house is set up for children, with the alarm on the back door leading to the pool, a game room for fun and enjoyment for all, and the beds were comfortable to sleep in. Everything has been thought out to make the week relaxing and accommodating for everyone. Even if you don't have children, I recommend this house for anyone. The owners were very easy to work with, they provided great directions, instructions, and they were helpful in everything. We will be coming back in the future, and we know where we will be staying.

Pure Luxury in Orlando

(Lymington, Hampshire, UK)
Review submitted: September 24, 2012 Date of arrival: September 7, 2012

We arrived on the Friday after a long flight and check in, we got to the Villa and it took our breath away. We loved every minute there and it made our honeymoon. The villa is stunning in every way, from the bedrooms, to the bathroom, to the kitchen and the lounge. Having not been to America for a while we were slightly blind and Derek had kindly left us information about local resources such as restaurants and shops. After a long day at the parks it was perfect to come back and sit in the jacuzzi looking across the lake and watching the sun go down. The location of the villa is perfect, so close to Disney etc and lovely restaurants only down the road. We would definitely recommend this place to our family and friends and we certainly be returning. Thank you Derek also for lending my husband your fishing rod - he made good use of it and it was very pleased. Thank you again for letting us stay, we had a fantastic time.

Wonderful Home

"Wonderful home!"
Your home was beautiful and extremely clean. It had plenty of room for my family to stay comfortably. My children especially loved the pool and fishing in the pond behind the house. Nice, quiet community close to stores and attractions. We will be back on our next trip to Disney for sure!

"Home from home with a pool

"Home from home with a pool
Submitted: September 1, 2012 Stayed: October 2011
“Home from home with a pool”
The villa was clean and tidy. Well furnished with comfy beds and fabulous en-suite facilities. Truly we felt it was our home from home for the fortnight. The villa was in a great location - very handy for the Disney parks. I also like that it's located within a residential estate and I enjoyed chatting to the locals when we would meet in the street.

I had booked the villa almost a year in advance of our trip (as soon as our flights were booked) as I'd seen it online and thought "that's the villa for us". I liked that the owner and myself kept in touch prior to the holiday and answered any queries I had and he was happy to hear my feedback after my visit.

The owner's package on directions to the villa and how things work in the villa had a couple of things missing but we soon worked them out for ourselves but I did give feedback which I hope was taken on-board and the owner said he would amend that for this year's guests.

Things I would have liked in the villa include a bike and perhaps a set of golf clubs as we had to hire a set while we were there. (The luggage allowance from UK is only 20kg!)

It is going to sound sad but I love using the laundry room in America. I was able to do a quick wash every day and kept on top of the family's laundry needs and it meant that I came home from holiday with all my clothes cleaned, washed and ironed... sad or what?

Mr.& Mrs. Clean live here! very well maintained luxurious, roomy house.
Its like vacationing at a very private lakeside resort.
The pool with a cascading waterfall hot tub was a very enjoyable way to begin our day, or relax during the evening after a long day at the very close amusement parks. The fireworks @ Magic Kingdom light up the sky during the evening as you relax in the hot tub.
All the restaurants and shopping you could ask for are less than 1 mile away, and because of the close proximity

"Everything and more"
Submitted: March 14, 2012 Stayed: February 2012
We stayed at this house the middle of February, 2012. Everything was excellent, even better that what we expected. We they say it is minutes away from the parks, they are honestly telling you the truth. The games room was great for the kids; the pool was so nice and private. Anything that went wrong, they were there so quick to fix, unbelievable service. We just wanted to thank Derek for letting us rent this beautiful house and making our trip so much more memorable! I will highly, highly recommend this house to anyone that wants a holiday with the luxury of feeling like you were at home! Thank you Derek so much!!! When we go to Florida again, I will surely look you up and hopefully this house will be available!!!
